This book disputes the long-held belief among philosophers that language reflects thought with a one-to-one correspondence. Instead, the author claims that one thought is comprised of many individual distinct parts, and that there is no possible way for language to reflect this directly. The book draws on the work of John Locke, tracing his theory of knowledge back to its roots and re-examining it in the context of modern discoveries about language and brain function. The author scrutinizes the work of later philosophers such as Kant and Hegel, positing that their systems are hypothetical and lack the empirical basis necessary to form stable philosophical ground. Ultimately, the book reframes the question of how language denotes thought, arguing that the imperfections of human language create a need to construct complex expressions that, when completed, become a single representation of a thought or idea.
